CivicActions

I want to thank all the folks who participated in the session “Communication, Cooperation, Collaboration: Can Drupal Shops Work Together”, based on the conversation during the session, and subsequently during the remainder of the conference that answer is, “Yes, we can, and we must.” What follows are notes from the session which thanks to Robin Barre for taking notes. I have taken my best shot at redacting and organizing them.

Panelists

• Gregory Heller, CivicActions

Here are the slides from my Drupalcon session yesterday (open the PDF version if you want the LOLcats). The session went very well - there was some great feedback and lots of good questions asked.

On Sunday night I fly out to Boston for DrupalCon. Four full days of sessions and meeting sand social events, I get a little overwhelmed just thinking about it. Which is why I am taking a moment right now to post a blog about my session on Monday at 1:30pm, "Communication, Collaboration, Cooperation: Can Drupal Shops Work Together".

One of my 3 DrupalCon Session Proposals got accepted and was scheduled last week: Scalable Theming: Theming for 100s of node types, CCK fields, and views.

Advanced theming tips, tricks and techniques for very large complex websites with many node types, CCK fields and views. This session is targeted at themers & developers wishing to learn how to manage complex theming requirements in a cost-saving, maintainable and scalable way.

I started work on the coder module a little over a year ago, as a response to an internal engineering meeting where were discussing Quality Assurance code reviews, and said "we should have a module to do that."

At OS/CMS I briefly introduced coder in the Lightning Talks session.

While in Barcelona, pre-conference, I gave a Drupal Dojo titled Upgrading your contrib modules to D6? Coder module can help!.

Here is a list of the sessions CivicActions has proposed (or co-proposed!) for Drupalcon Boston 2008. Also, CivicActions themer extraordinaire Stephanie Pakrul is co-chairing the design and user experience track.

Please have a browse, add any comments or suggestions to the session page and vote for any sessions that are of interest to you!

Add your accommodations and other venues and events to the DrupalCon Boston map. I have put some places on it and made it public so that anyone can edit it.

If you're still looking for a DrupalCon hotel, check out the Milner Boston Hotel which is the best deal available and about as close to the Boston Convention Center that you can get. Be sure to use their website and get the web special $109 ($122 after taxes) per night!

I can't vouch for the hotel, this will be my first stay. They have free internet and free breakfast. The only downside I see is that they advertise "Quaint European Style Rooms", which means small.

While psyching myself up for DrupalCon Boston 2008 I was browsing downtown Boston in google maps, I found this weird occurance of an accidental 'impossible picture':
